Be ROCKED SO F$CKING HARD THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE 3 WEEKS OFF OF WORK TO RECUPERATE. yes friends. it's simply that good.

mlaferriere@sympatico.ca - Bass, guitar and a fabulous female lead singer is our band but we are looking for a drummer. You don't have to be an expert. But if you are willing to develop and learn with 3 people who are not only friends but caring people, who never yell or make unreasonable demands on each other, and who like to play music together and gig say once a month, then think about us. Our music is eclectic. The tunes cover a wide range of rock, a bit of jazz and blues, with about 12 original songs so far. I can send you a song list with covers. We are flexible and open to ideas. It's not intricate music but there are stops and changes so it is not mindless drumming. With our originals, you can make your own statement, bring you own style, try new things. We are open to that. Even our covers - we don't expect precise copying. Some originality and personality of your own helps. We have a place to reheasrse with drums too. We actually rehearse together. Practice you do on your own. Don't be intimidated. We are kind and would really like to find a drummer who will stick with us. We have been together for some time. Please email Harold at for more info. Thanks!
solartj@rogers.com
- Are you the drummer we are looking for? Local indie alt-rock band still needs a creative and independent spirit to round out the group. We're a mature band that generally avoids the bar scene, plays mostly festivals, and has some unique ideas for promoting ourselves in the future. Also, we have a deal where you can be paid for every gig if that's an issue. Age doesn't matter - as long as you can get yourself around and have pro gear - but attitude and commitment really do. You can check out some of the material at www.myspace.com/kinnexacross and if you are interested please email. Thanks!
